+/*
+ * Original explanation:
+ * On various Gigabyte AM4 boards (AB350, AX370), the second Super-IO chip
+ * (IT8792E) needs to be in configuration mode before accessing the first
+ * due to a bug in IT8792E which otherwise results in LPC bus access errors.
+ * This needs to be done before accessing the first Super-IO chip since
+ * the second chip may have been accessed prior to loading this driver.
+ *
+ * The problem is also reported to affect IT8795E, which is used on X299 boards
+ * and has the same chip ID as IT8792E (0x8733). It also appears to affect
+ * systems with IT8790E, which is used on some Z97X-Gaming boards as well as
+ * Z87X-OC.
+ *
+ * From other information supplied:
+ * ChipIDs 0x8733, 0x8695 (early ID for IT87952E) and 0x8790 are initialized
+ * and left in configuration mode, and entering and/or exiting configuration
+ * mode is what causes the crash.
+ *
+ * The recommendation is to look up the chipID before doing any mode swap
+ * and then act accordingly.
